The queue line is now towards the refrigerator, which is a huge improvement compared to before where it blocked half way down the store. Beware of grandmas and grandpas trying to cut you in line!

Not a problem for me when getting fresh and affordable groceries without going to Chinatown! Thanks boss market!

Dear Cody, In the…read morepast several months or so, I would take occasional walks down to Boss Supermarket to pick up a few items for the fridge. I wouldn't call Boss an especially appealing market to visit. The floors are a bit grimey, a byproduct of water from the fish tanks and a lack of concern from both management and shoppers. The way the sole of my shoe sticks slightly to random tiles feels like a surprisingly interesting sensation, but in a half disgusting sort of way, I guess. As I navigate around the market, my shoe peels off to produce an audible chhhhweeeck sound reminiscent of furious tape and paper unwrapping on Christmas mornings. All in all, along with poor lighting, the unique smell of 'choy sum' on shelves, and a general sense of musty-ness, Boss Supermarket absolutely captures the authenticity of the Chinese supermarket in San Francisco. None of the things I mentioned above actually bothers me, at least not enough to stop me from getting a pack of Vitasoy and a jar of spicy pickled bamboo shoots. The former is a vegan drink option for Mommy, and Boss carries the black soy milk flavor (not to be confused with the chocolate soy milk flavor), which is a rarity in these parts of the city. The latter is a eating habit I've picked up on recently. The spicy bamboo serves as an excellent side to white rice. When time is low and Mommy is too pressed for time to come up with a fun dinner, these bamboo shoots can literally spice up a bland meal. But then there are the extremely narrow aisles. Standing side by side in a Boss Supermarket aisle, you may be able to fit one average sized man and a slender praying mantis. Imagine a clumsy person trying to shop here with a grocery list in hand. Not an excellent experience. Yet, it's not so much the claustrophobic layout that annoys me. It's the other shoppers. Cody, growing up in the Sunset you'll meet a lot of older folks from Grandmama's generation, perhaps slightly older. In these parts of Noriega especially, they may lug around a grocery cart and fashion an abnormally large visor. Tennis shoes ideal for walking, multi-purpose windbreaker, and the double facemask round out their staple. Everything about them screams utility and efficiency, and they bring that mentality straight into the narrow aisles of Boss supermarket. Sometimes, and I mean sometimes in a very frequent sort of way, they value their need for efficiency over their respect of my personal space. They may squeeze around the back of me without uttering a word. Bumps and nudges like they're jostling in the box for a rebound. And the most egregious -- overt cutting in line with no regard for me and my six pack of vitasoy and jar of spicy bamboo shoots. It annoys me. It shouldn't. I'm not really hurt when their elbows scrape across my arm. I can very well afford the 30 additional seconds I stand waiting in line when they dart in front of me at the cash register. But I am. I am annoyed. I am annoyed that people can be so narrow in their thinking that they see only themselves. That they disregard others in their vicinity, their community. So narrow in their thinking they think of no one but themselves. And as I'm writing this, it annoys me that I didn't realize that this applied to myself as well. Cody, part of our community are the older folks from Grandmama's generation. For those folks, they lived in a generation past, an ocean away, a world apart. Stories from Grandmama and Great Gramps tell me that it was a world without luxury, and at times too often, a world without food. For many, it was a constant scrap for the next meal, or even just the next bite. An 'excuse me' sounds most out of place when everyone has acknowledged that there is a fight for the next handful of rice. If I am not so narrow in my thinking that I think of no one but myself, then I may have been more understanding of how experiences can shape our upbringing. That superficial manners are far from a judge of character. If my thinking were not so narrow, then perhaps I would realize I am the one who is disregarding others in my community. Upon reflection, it is obvious that I can do better. Easier said than done, my son. When I am annoyed, I am annoyed. In a flash of a moment, it may be hard to hide my scowl as another person cuts me in line at Boss Supermarket. I tell you this in hopes that you can do better than your old man. Maybe with this understanding in your pocket, you grow up to be more charitable to what I wrongfully perceived as 'discretions'. And maybe when I fail to hide my displeasure by the cash register, you can tug on my arm as your discreet signal to remind your dad to check himself. Maybe. Or maybe that will be asking too much of you. How about this? When we go to Boss together, we will look around, and naturally I would think, we would be reminded that we should not allow our thinking to be as narrow as the aisles that surround us. Love always, Daddy

When it comes to San Francisco food you can't have any of the top restaurant dishes without having…read moreseafood. The majority of tourist visiting in SF congregate by the water to grab something with seafood in it. Throughout the city you can find delicious crab in dishes native to San Francisco like Cioppino . You will also find seafood in many dishes around the city restaurants like ceviche ,honey walnut prawn , shrimp scampi, and Dungeness crab with garlic noodles. You cannot go to the Cherry Blossom Festival in San Francisco at the largest Japantown in America this April weekend without enjoying a sushi dish with salmon. One thing about seafood dishes is it's easy to cook. You can't really screw up cooking a salmon or some shrimps. There is one place which has all the seafood essentials when you are miles away from the water in the Richmond ( not the city of Richmond) District in San Francisco . It's on Clement street and it's called the Seafood Center. On a Spring stroll by the See's Candies on 9th Avenue you will see the Seafood Center up the block on Clement. Inside you will see lobsters and crabs for sale which will save you time shopping and traveling to Fisherman's Wharf. You will see hella fish heads on an ice in a line up.

They even have chicken feet like some I seen around in SF. This is a good place to grab meats and seafood from land to water on Clement street for SAT ( Surf and Turf).

To my surprise, they actually advertise and sell it - wonder what it tastes like! Since it is a meat and seafood market, the location will be a bit dirty, so closed-toed shoes are highly recommended. The area is also quite tight, so knowing what you want in advance may make the experience more enjoyable.

There are not many Supermarkets on Mission street in San Francisco. When I mean Supermarket I am…read morenot talking about some corner-store action. I am talking about Supermarket with a parking lot and an entire seafood and meat market and lots of aisles of food like a Safeway size Supermarket . Living in 8 different San Francisco neighborhoods and where this Supermarket is located you know where to go to shop for groceries. There is one which has lots of Asian foods along with USA products and Latin American products. It is known as MOM or the Manila Oriental Market on Mission street. On a Mission street stroll on the corner of Trumbull and on Mission street there is a Supermarket for your drink and food needs. Inside the Manila Oriental Market there are foods from the Philippines, China, Vietnam, Taiwan and other Asian countries. You will find a fish market loaded with lots of seafood like shrimp.

They also have a meat department with meats from all over the Latin America. This place also has imported alcohol from China and also noodles from Vietnam.

It's really convenient to have a local Asian market so close to home. Growing up in San Francisco,…read moreI'm familiar with many Asian markets in the city. Before this one opened, I usually shopped at Pacific Supermarket on Alemany, and I still prefer the Daly City (Westborough) location overall. That said, I often come here simply because it's closer and more convenient. There's nothing out of the ordinary for an Asian market, but it has all the essentials you need to make a good home-cooked meal. They have both fish and meat counters, which I appreciate, and the prices are decent. I also enjoy browsing the fresh produce section -- there's a good variety of greens like bok choy, spinach, and other staples. One thing I would love to see is fresh soy milk and fresh chow fun noodles. That's one of the reasons I enjoy shopping at May Wah on Clement Street, and having those items here would really elevate this market. Overall, it's a solid neighborhood spot that I'm glad to have nearby, especially when I want to shop locally and quickly.

The quality of their seafood…read moreis absolutely outstanding--everything was incredibly fresh, delicious, and beautifully prepared. You can really tell they take pride in what they do. What truly impressed us, though, was their customer service. We weren't able to make it to pick up our order, and Scott went above and beyond by arranging an Uber to deliver our seafood to us. That level of care, kindness, and dedication is so rare these days. He turned what could have been a stressful situation into an easy and enjoyable experience. If you're looking for top-quality seafood and a business that genuinely cares about its customers, I highly recommend 4 Star Seafood. Scott's exceptional service earned a customer for life. Thank you for going the extra mile!
